PREFACE. 
'iaei« — 

This  little  work  seeks  no  place  in  the  higher 
departments  of  sacred  song.  Its  design  is,  in 
the  first  place,  to  contribute  something  to- 
wards rescuing  the  popular  melodies  of  our 
time  from  general  profanation,  and  conse- 
crating them  to  the  service  of  God  ;  and,  se- 
condly, to  aid  the  devotions  of  plain  Christian 
people,  who  make  no  pretensions  to  a  highly 
cultivated  taste,  either  in  poetry  or  music, 
but  who  seek  rather  the  simple  and  pathetic, 
than  the  artistic  and  elaborate.  It  does  not 
therefore  hold  itself  amenable  to  the  censure 
of  the  critic. 

The  hope  is  indulged  however,  that,  while 
the  humblest  will  find  here  much  to  quicken 
his  devotions  and  enliven  his  Christian  joy, 
even  to  the  most  cultivated  it  will  not  be 
wholly  devoid  of  the  means  of  spiritual  im- 
provement. 

(3) 


4  PKEFACE. 

It  is  adapted  especially  to  the  Social  Meet- 
ings of  Christian  people — to  the  Meetings  for 
Prayer  and  Christian  Conference — to  the 
Love-Feast  and  the  Class  Room  ;  and ,  it  is 
sincerely  hoped,  to  all  those  who  delight  to 
worship  God  in  "  psalms,  hymns,  and  spir- 
itual songs,"  The  Chorus  will  not  be  without 
advantage  as  an  aid  to  them  in  "  singing  and 
making  melody  in  their  hearts  unto  the  Lord." 

Philadelphia,  January,  1858. 


INTRODUCTION. 


"  Why  should  Satan  have  the  best  tunes  ?" 
was  oft  the  language  of  the  "VVesleys,  Whit- 
field, and  many  other  champions  of  the  cross. 
Many  persons  are  aware  of  the  almost  omni- 
potent influence  of  national  ballads  on  na- 
tional morals,  and  thus  on  the  formation  of 
national  character.  Hence  said  a  daring 
sinner,  "  I  care  not  a  straw  who  makes  the 
laws  of  nations,  if  I  may  but  make  the  ballads." 
"I'he  first  race  of  Methodists  gave  a  mighty 
check  to  profane  song-singing  in  the  following 
manner :  whenever  they  found  that  the  devil 
had  got  a  good  tune  that  seemed  to  charm 
the  people,  some  one  immediately  composed  a 
hymn  or  spiritual  song  to  that  tune,  and  thus 
cheated  Satan  out  of  both  tune  and  singers  ; 
and  thousands  in  latter  times  have  imitated 
these  fathers  of  Methodism  in  this  respect 
with  glorious  success.  In  this  place,  an  im- 
portant question  will  naturally  arise  :  Have 

the  ballads  become  popular  from  the  beauty 

(5j 


6  INTRODUCTION. 

and  simplicity  of  the  airs  to  which  they  have 
been  set,  or  otherwise  ?  We  frankly  answer, 
while  admitting  that  thousands  of  our  youth, 
polluted  by  the  influence  of  our  drinking- 
saloons  and  play-houses,  would  prefer  an  im- 
moral song  to  the  inspired  hymns  of  Wesley, 
Watts,  or  Montgomery,  that  our  belief  is, 
that  it  is  the  tunes,  rather  than  the  words, 
that  have  drawn  away  so  many  of  our  young ; 
and  it  is  from  this  that  we  infer  the  salutary 
tendency  of  an  attempt  to  redeem  our  best  po- 
pular airs  by  adapting  them  to  the  songs  of 
Zion.  We  have  long  listened  to  all  that  has 
been  said  against  the  introduction  of  song 
tunes  into  the  worship  of  God,  and  we  reply  in 
the  language  of  an  old  divine,  "  Why,  there  are 
only  seven  or  eight  notes  to  all  the  tunes  in  the 
world,  and  they  all  belong  to  Jesus  Christ ;  so 
that  if  the  devil  wants  any  fresh  ones,  he  must 
make  them."  We  have  known  hundreds  at- 
tracted to  the  house  of  the  Lord  by  such 
singing,  and,  what  is  far  better,  attracted  to 
the  cross.  It  will  be  quite  soon  enough  to 
vindicate  the  use  of  song  tunes  in  the  wor- 
ship of  God,  when  any  christian  shall  bring  a 
scriptural  or  common-sense  objection  against  it.

ATTEND  young  friends,  whilst  I  relate 
The  clanger  you  are  in, 
The  evils  that  around  you  wait, 
While  subject  unto  sin. 

2  Although  you  flourish  like  the  rose, 
Whilst  in  its  branches  green, 

Your  sparkling  eyes  in  death  must  close, 
And  never  more  be  seen. 

3  In  silent  shades  you  must  lie  down, 
Long  in  your  graves  to  dwell, 

Your  friends  will  then  stand  weeping  round, 
And  bid  a  long  farewell. 

4  How  small  this  world  will  then  appear, 
At  that  tremendous  hour, 

When  you  Jehovah's  voice  shall  hear.

Look  to  the  cross  ; 
He's  an  all-sufficient  Saviour, 

Look  to  the  cross  ; 
Though  thy  crimes  reach  high  as  heaven, 
Thou  'gainst  grace  and  truth  hast  striven, 
Here  the  vilest  are  forgiven  ; 

Look  to  the  cross. 

4  Dost  thou  feel  thy  spirit  harden  ? 

Look  to  the  cross  ; 
See  repentance  joined  with  pardon, 

Look  to  the  cross  ; 
Hear  what  words  of  grace  are  spoken, 
Love  presents  her  highest  token, 
Gaze  till  thy  hard  heart  is  broken  ; 

Look  to  the  cross. 

5  Wouldst  thou  hear  thy  Saviour  claim  thee  ? 

.    Look  to  the  cross  ; 
TVouldst  thou  fisel  his  love  inflame  thee  ? 

Look  to  the  cross  ; 
Hark !  he  speaks,  but  not  in  thunder, 
Hear,  0  earth,  let  angels  wonder, 
"  I  have  snapp"d  thy  chains  asunder  ; 

Look  to  my  cross."

Look  to  the  cross  ; 

Bought  for  all  of  every  nation. 

Look  to  the  cross  j

The  sweetest  name  I've  heard ; 
Against  my  Saviour's  fame,

For  thee  he  gave  his  life,

YE  wanderers,  attend,  and  give  ear  while

The  love  and  compassion  of  Jesus  my  king  ; 
To  you  he  is  calling :  he  cries.  There  is  room,

On  sin's  barren  mountains  too  long  did  I  roam, 
Forsook  my  kind  Father,  and  wandered  from

THE    POOR   BACKSLIDER. 

WHEN  I  call  to  my  remembrance, 
My  former  happy  days, 
My  days  were  spent  in  pleasure. 

My  nights  in  prayer  and  praise  ; 
But  since  I've  lost  my  Saviour, 

My  prayers  have  been  in  vain — 
"  Yet  come  backsliding  sinner. 
You  still  may  come  again." 

2  I  have  fled  away  like  Jonah, 

The  presence  of  my  God  ; 
Like  Peter  I  denied  him, 

And  trampled  on  his  blood  ; 


205  BACKSLIDING    LAMENTED. 

Like  Judas  I  have  sold  him, 

For  pelf  and  earthly  gain — • 
"  Yet  come  backsliding  sinner, 

You  still  may  come  again." 

3  I  have  sinn'd  against  the  light, 
Too  long  against  his  grace  ; 

I've  griev'd  his  holy  Spirit, 

And  mocked  him  to  his  face. 
My  sins  they  cry  for  vengeance, 

Like  those  of  wretched  Cain — 
"  Yet  come  backsliding  sinner, 

You  still  may  come  again." 

4  Reflecting  now  with  sorrow, 
On  pleasures  long  since  dead  ; 

I  felt  an  inward  heaven, 

But  now  a  constant  hell. 
I  am  sinking,  I  am  dying, 

I  feel  increasing  pain — 
"  Yet  come  backsliding  sinner, 

You  still  may  come  again." 

5  Hark,  is  not  that  my  Saviour's  voice  ? 
It  speaks  along  the  skies, 

It  bids  my  mourning  soul  rejoice, 

It  bids  me  now  arise — 
**  Arise  !  come  to  thy  Saviour, 

I'll  not  thy  tears  disdain  ; 
Yes,  poor  backsliding  sinner, 

You  still  may  come  again.

TIME  speeds  away,  away,  away  1 
Another  hour,  another  day, 
Another  month,  another  year.

Drops  like  the  life  blood  from  our  hearts  ; 
The  rose  bloom  from  our  cheeks  departs, 
"^rhe  tresses  from  our  temples  fall, 
The  eye  grows  dim  and  strange  to  all.

Like  torrents  on  a  stormy  day. 
He  undermines  the  stately  tower. 
Uproots  the  tree  and  snaps  the  flower  ; 
And  sweeps  from  our  distracted  breast, 
The  friends  that  love,  the  friends  that  blessed  ; 
And  leaves  us  weeping  on  the  shore, 
To  which  we  can  return  no  more.

Of  fathomless  eternity.

Heaven's  my  home,  heaven's  my  home, 
Yet  I'll  sing  the  song  of  hope, 

Heaven's  my  home.

Heaven's  my  home,  heaven's  my  home, 
Though  the  world  may  me  disown; 
Heaven's  my  home  ; 
Though  the  world  may  me  disown, 
And  I'm  little  and  unknown  ; 
I'm  an  heir  to  yonder  throne. 

Heaven's  my  home,  heaven's  ray  home, 
I'm  an  heir  to  yonder  throne, 

Heaven's  my  home.

And  my  soul  draw  nigh  to  thee  ; 
And  I'll  sing  triumphantly. 

Heaven's  my  home,  heaven's  my  home, 
And  I'll  sing  triumphantly. 

Heaven's  my  home. 

5  Oh,  that  every  soul  could  say, 

Heaven's  my  home,  heaven's  my  home, 
Oh,  that  every  soul  could  say,

I'm  a  royal  heir  of  heaven  ; 
And  to  me  the  song  is  given,

And  to  me  the  song  is  given, 

Heaven's  my  home.

SoxG.     By  a  Young  Ladt. 

MY  soul's  full  of  glory,  which  fires  my 
tongue, 
Could  I  meet  with  angels,  I'd  sing  them  a 

song, 
I'd  sing  of  my  Jesus,  and  tell  of  his  charms, 
And  call  them  to  bear  me  to  his  loving  arms. 

2  Methinks  they're  assemblmg  to  hear  what 

I  sing, 
Well  pleaded  to  hear  mortals  praismg  theip 
King; 


PROSPECT   OF   HEAVEN.  215 

0  angels  !  0  angels  I  my  soul's  in  a  flame, 

1  sing  iu  sweet  raptures  of  Jesus's  name. 

3  Sweet  Spirit,  attend  me  till  Jesua  shall  come, 
Protect   and  defend  me    till  I'm   conveyed 

home ; 

Though  worms  my  poor  body  may  claim  as 
their  prey, 

'Twill  outshine  when  rising  the  sun  at  noon- 
day. 

4  The  sun  shall  be  darkened,  the  moon  turned 

as  blood, 
The  world  all  on  fire  with  the  vengeance  of 

God; 
While  lightnings  are  flashing,  and  thunders  do 

roar. 
Undaunted,  I'll   triumph  on  fair   Canaan's 

shore. 

6  The  smiles  of  bright  glory  appear  on  my 

soul, 
I  sink  in  bright  visions,  I  view  the  bright 

goal ; 
My  soul  while  I'm  singing  is  leaping  to  go, 
This  moment  for  heaven  I'd  leave  all  below. 

6  Farewell  my  dear  brethren,  the  Lord  bids 

me  come, 
Farewell  my  dear  sisters,  I'm  now  going  home ; 
Bright  angels  are  whisp'ring  so  sweet  in  my 

ear. 
Away  to  my  Saviour  the  spirit  shall  steer. 


216  PKOSPECT   OF    HEAVEN.

'Tis  Jesus  in  glory  appears  unto  me  ; 

To  heaven,  to  lieaven  :  I'm  going,  I'm  going. 
All  glory !  0  glory  1  'tis  finished,  'tis  done. 

8  To  the  regions  of  glory,  the  spirit  has  fled, 
And  left  the  frail  body  inactive  and  dead  ; 
With  angelic  armies  in  glory  to  blaze, 

On  Jesus'  fair  beauty  forever  to  gaze. 

9  When  the  seals  are  all  open'd,  the  trumpet 

shall  sound. 
And  awake  God's  dear  children  that  sleep 

under  ground  ; 
Their  souls  and  their  bodies  shall  all  join  in 

one, 
And  each  from  their  Saviour  receive  a  bright 

crown.

HOPE  OF  HEAVEN. 

A  HOPE  of  heaven,  a  precious  treasure, 
JJL  The  richest  boon  that  man  can  crave, 
Por  it  affords  unfading  pleasure, 

A  hope  of  heaven  beyond  the  grave : 
This  hope  has  been  my  stay  and  comfort 

Through  many  a  dark  and  gloomy  hour— 
Of  it  the  world  can  never  rob  me. 

Long  as  I  trust  Ahnighty  power. 


PROSPECT    OF   HEAVEN.  217 

2  "WTien  sorrow,  death,  and  woe  surround 

me, 

And  all  about  me's  filled  with  gloom, 
My  mind  is  peaceful,  calm,  and  even — 

I  have  a  hope  beyond  the  tomb  ; 
Strong  ties  by  death  long  since  were  riven, 

And  those  I  loved  I  see  no  more, 
Nor  will,  until  we  meet  in  heaven — ■ 

There  we  shall  meet  to  part  no  more. 

3  When  friends  are  few,  and  the  world  al- 

luring, 
And  through  temptation  I'm  cast  down, 
My  way  is  dark  and  nothing  cheering, 
A  hope  of  heaven  still  cheers  me  on. 
Though  prospects  fade  and  friends  should  fail 
me. 
And  all  seems  cheerless  on  the  road, 
And  though  the  powers  of  hell  assail  me, 
I'll  hope  for  heaven  and  trust  in  God. 

4  And  when  I  pass  through  death's  dark 

valley, 

A  light  shall  shine  around  my  way — 
His  rod  and  staif  shall  then  support  me, 

He'll  bring  me  through  to  endless  day. 
Until  that  hour  still  let  me  cherish 

A  hope  of  heaven  and  its  joy. 
Well  grounded  on  my  Saviour's  merits. 

Whose  praises  shall  my  tongue  employ.

"VXyHEN  pulse  beats  low,  and  cheeks  grow 

And  storms  of  life  are  fiercely  driven,

How  sweet  to  have  a  hope  of  heaven ! 

2  When  lone  and  wandering  far  from  home, 

No  kind  relief  to  us  is  given  ; 
Oh !  what'  would  then  of  us  become, 
If  we  had  not  a  hope  of  heaven  ? 

3  When  friends  that  seemed  most  near  and 

dear, 
Are  from  our  bosoms  swiftly  riven. 
And  life's  bright  joys  in  gloom  appear. 
How  sweet  to  have  a  hope  of  heaven ! 

4  And  when  the  end  is  drawing  nigh, 

Of  life,  thro'  which  we  long  have  striven, 
When  we,  alas  !  must  droop  and  die, 
How  sweet  to  have  a  hope  of  heaven  !

REMEMBRANCE    OF    ZTON. 

OZION,  when  I  think  of  thee, 
I  mourn  for  pinions  like  a  dove, 
And  sigh  that  I  so  far  should  be. 
So  distant  from  the  place  I  love.

For  Zion's  sacred  walls  I  sigh, 

Thither  the  ransomed  nations  come, 
And  see  their  Saviour  eye  to  eye. 

3  While  here  I  walk  on  hostile  ground, 
The  few  that  I  can  call  my  friends, 

Are  like  myself  in  fetters  bound, 
And  weariness  their  steps  attend. 

4  But  soon  the  joyful  day  will  come, 
When  Zion's  children  shall  return. 

Their  sorrows  then  shall  flee  away, 
And  they  shall  never,  never  mourn. 

5  The  hope  that  such  a  day  will  come, 
Makes  e'en  the  exiles'  portion  sweet, 

Though  now  we  wander  far  from  home. 
In  Zion  soon  we  all  shall  meet.

For  we  are  a  lonely  pilgrim  band, 

And  weary,  and  worn,  and  sad. 


220  PROSPECT    OF    HEAVEN. 

They  tell  us  the  pilgrims   have  a  dwelling 
there, 

No  longer  are  homeless  ones, 
And  we  know  that  the  goodly  land  is  fair, 

Where  life's  pure  river  runs. 

2  They  say  green  fields  are  waving  there, 
That  never  a  blight  shall  know  ; 

And  the  deserts  wild  are  blooming  fair, 

And  the  roses  of  Sharon  grow. 
There  are  lovely  birds  in  the  bowers  green.

And  their  warbliugs.  gushing  ever  new, 

The  angels'  harpings  greet.

And  the  silvery  band  in  white  ; 
Of  the  city  fair,  with  pearly  gates, 

All  radiant  with  light. 
We   have  heard    of  the  angels  there,  and 
saints, 
With  their  harps  of  gold,  how  they  sing  ; 
Of  the  mount,  with  the  fruitful  tree  of  life; 
Of  the  leaves  that  heaUng  bring. 

4  The  King  of  that  country,  he  is  fair, 
He  is  the  joy  and  the  light  of  the  place  j 

In  his  beauty  we  shall  behold  him  there,

Our  hearts  with  anguish  riven. 

Still  let  it  never  be  forgot — 
There  are  no  tears  in  heaven.

A  FEW  more  days  on  earth  to  spend, 
And  all  my  toils  and  cares  shall  end, 
Then  I  shall  see  my  God  and  Friend, 

And  praise  his  name  on  high. 
There's  no  more  sighs,  and  no  more  tears, 
There's  no  more  pains,  and  no  more  fears, 
But  God  and  Christ  and  heav'n  appears 
Unto  the  ravished  eye. 

2  Then,  0  my  soul !  despond  no  more, 
The  storm  of  life  will  soon  be  o'er, 
And  I  shall  find  the  peaceful  shore 

Of  everlasting  rest. 
0  happy  day  !  0  joyful  hour ! 
When  freed  from  earth,  my  soul  shall  tow'r 
Beyond  the  reach  of  Satan's  power, 

To  be  forever  blest. 

3  My  soul  anticipates  the  day, 
I'd  joyfully  the  call  obey, 

Which  summons  then  my  soul  away 

To  seats  prepar'd  above. 
There  I  shall  see  my  Saviour's  face, 
And  dwell  in  his  belov'd  embrace, 
And  taste  the  fulness  of  his  grace, 

And  sing  redeeming  love. 

4  Though  dire  aflflictions  press  me  sore, 
And  death's  black  billows  roll  before  : 
Yet  still  by  faith  I  see  the  shore, 

Beyond  the  rolling  flood  ; 


PROSPECT    OF   HEAVEN.  223 

The  heav'nly  Canaan  sweet  and  fair, 
Before  my  ravish 'd  eyes  appear  ; 
It  makes  me  almost  think  I'm  there, 
In  yonder  bright  abode. 

5  To  earthly  cares  I'd  say  farewell, 
And  triumph  over  death  and  hell, 
And  go  where  saints  and  angels  dwell, 

To  praise  the  eternal  Three. 
I'll  join  with  them  who  're  gone  before, 
Who  sing  and  shout,  their  suff'rings  o'er, 
Where  pain  and  parting  are  no  more, 

To  all  eternity. 

6  Adieu,  ye  scenes  of  noise  and  show, 
And  all  this  region  here  below, 

Where  naught  but  disappointments  grow, 

A  better  world's  in  view. 
My  Saviour  calls  I  I  haste  away, 
I  would  not  here  forever  stay : 
Hail !  ye  bright  realms  of  endless  day !

And  find  repose  in  heaven  ! 

3  There  is  a  home  for  weary  souls. 
By  sin  and  sorrow  driven  ; 

When  tossed  on  life's  tempestuous  shoals, 
Where  storms  arise,  and  ocean  rolls, 
And  all  is  drear  but  heaven  ! 

4  There,  faith  lifts  up  the  tearful  eye, 
The  heart  with  anguish  riven  ; 

And  views  the  tempest  passing  by, 
The  evening  shadows  quickly  fly. 
And  all  serene  in  heaven  1 

5  There  fragrant  flowers  immortal  bloom, 
And  joys  supreme  are  given  ; 

There  rays  divine  disperse  the  gloom  : 
Beyond  the  confines  of  the  tomb, 
Appears  the  dawn  of  heaven.

These  bodies  soon  niust  moulder 

In  the  dark  and  dreary  tomb.

They  beckon  us  away, 

We  never  more  shall  see  them, 
Till  the  fearful  judgment  day  ; 

But  we  have  listed  in  the  army, 
We  have  listed  for  the  war, 

We  will  fight  until  we  conquer 
By  faith  and  humble  prayer.

He  bids  us  all  to  come  ; 

High  up  in  endless  glory, 

He  has  fitted  up  our  home  ; 
The  world,  the  flesh,  and  Satan, 

Will  strive  to  hedge  our  way, 
But  we'll  overcome  their  powers, 

If  we  only  watch  and  pray. 

4  And  Jesus  will  be  with  us, 
Even  to  our  journey's  end, 

In  every  sore  affliction. 

His  "  present  help"  to  lend  ;

THE   LITTLE   HYMN. 

COME  little  children,  now  we  may  partake 
a  little  morsel. 
For  little  songs,  and  little  ways,  adorned  a 

great  Apostle. 
A  little  drop  of  Jesus'  blood  can  make  a  feast 

of  union  ; 
It  is  by  little  steps  we  move  into  a  full  com- 
munion. 

2  A  little  faith  does  mighty  deeds,  quite  past 

all  my  recounting ; 
Faith,  like  a  little  mustard  seed,  can  move  a 

lofty  mountain. 


228  MISCELLANEOUS. 

A  little  charity  and  zeal — a  little  tribula- 
tion— 

A  little  patience,  makes  us  feel  great  peace 
and  consolation. 

3  A  little  cross  with  cheerfulness,  a  little 

self-denial, 

Will  help  us  feel  our  troubles  less,  and  bear 
the  greater  trial. 

The  Spirit,  like  a  little  dove,  on  Jesus  once 
descended ; 

To  show  his  meekness  and  his  love,  the  em- 
blem was  intended. 

4  A  little  zeal  supplies  the  soul ;  it  doth  the 

heart  inspire  ; 
A  little  spark  lights  up  the  whole,  and  sets 

the  crowd  on  fire. 
A  little  union  serves  to  hold  the  good  and 

tender  hearted  ; 
It's  stronger  than  a  chain  of  gold,  that  never 

can  be  parted. 

5  Come,  let  us  labour  here  below  ;  see  who 

can  walk  the  straightest ; 
For  in  God's  kingdom,  all  must  know,  the 

least  shall  be  the  greatest. 
0  give  us.  Lord,  a  little  drop  of  heavenly 

love  and  union ;

communion.

SINCE  meridian  light  commenced, 
Purer  love  revealed  to  some  ; 
If  there  still  must  be  offences, 

Woe  to  him  by  whom  they  come  ! 
Jesus  said,  Be  meek  and  lowly, 
'Tis  not  right  to  be  a  judge  ; 
If  I  would  be  pure  and  holy, 
I  must  love  without  a  grudge.

All  his  precepts  to  obey  ; 

If  I  truly  love  my  neighbour, 
Then  I'm  in  the  holy  way.

3  If  I  say  unto  my  neighbour, 
In  thine  eye  there  is  a  mote, 

If  thou  art  a  friend  or  brother, 

Hold,  and  I  will  pull  it  out. 
But  I  could  not  get  it  clearly, 

For  my  sight  was  very  dim  ; 
When  I  come  to  see  more  clearly. 

In  my  eye  there  was  a  beam. 

4  If  I  truly  love  my  neighbour, 
And  his  mote  I  would  erase, 

Then  my  sight  must  shine  most  clearly, 

For  the  eye's  a  tender  place ; 
Others  I  have  oft  reproved . 

For  a  little  single  mote ; 
Now  I  wish  the  beam  removed  ; 

Oh  that  love  would  work  it  out ! 

5  Charity  (or  love)  is  healing. 
It  would  give  a  purer  sight ; 

When  I  saw  my  neighbour's  failing, 

I  was  not  exactly  right. 
Now  111  take  no  further  trouble. 

Since  Christ's  love  is  all  my  theme ; 
Little  motes  are  but  a  bubble, 

When  I  think  upon  the  beam.

RESURRECTION  HYMN. 

As  sung  by  Rev.  Wm.  Taylor,  of  California. 

THE  angels  that  watched  'round  the  tomb, 
Where  low  the  Redeemer  was  laid  ; 
When  deep  in  mortality's  gloom, 
He  laid  for  a  season  his  head  ; 
That  veiled  the  fair  forms  whilst  he  slept, 

And  ceased  their  sweet  harps  to  employ ; 
Have  witnessed  his  rising,  and  swept 
Their  chords  in  the  triumph  of  joy. 

2  Ye  saints  who  once  languished  below, 
But  long  since  have  entered  your  rest ; 

I  pant  to  be  glorified  too, 

To  lean  on  Immanuel's  breast. 
The  grave  in  which  Jesus  was  laid, 

Hath  buried  my  guilt  and  my  fears  ; 
And  while  I  contemplate  its  shade. 

The  light  of  his  presence  appears. 

3  Oh  !  sweet  is  the  season  of  rest, 
When  life's  weary  journey  is  done  ; 

The  blush  which  spreads  over  its  west, 
The  last  lingering  ray  of  its  sun. 

Though  dreary  the  empire  of  night, 
I  soon  shall  emerge  from  its  gloom  ; 

And  see  immortality's  light, 
Arise  on  the  shades  of  the  tomb. 


Zui  MISCELLANEOUS. 

4  Then  welcome  the  last  rending  sighs, 

When    these    aching   heart-strings    shall 
break  ; 
When  death  shall  extinguish  these  eyes, 

And  moisten  with  dew  the  pale  clieek, 
Xo  terror  the  prospect  begets, 

I  am  not  mortality's  slave  ; 
The  sunbeam  of  life  as  it  sets, 

Leaves  a  halo  of  peace  on  the  grave.

THE   ITINERANT. 

WHEN   Jesus,  my  Saviour,  fii'st  called 
me  to  go, 
And  publish  salvation  and  peace, 
He  told  me  if  faithful  while  toiling  below, 
His  care  for  my  soul  should  not  cease. 

2  With  God  and  my  Bible  I  parted  from 

home, 
And  bade  my  dear  kindred  adieu  ; 
O'er  mountains  and  valleys   a  stranger    to 
roam, 
Where  places  and  scenes  were  all  new. 

3  My  path  has  been  varied  by  pleasure  and 

pain. 
By  friendship  and  hatred  most  keen, 
But  like  the  bright  bow  on  the  clouds  after 
rain, 
God's  care  o'er  my  pathway  has  been.

Exhausted  by  toils  and  alarms, 

My  soul  has  been  happy  in  constant  repose, 
Enfolded  in  Christ's  loving  arms. 

5  In  perils  by  land  and  in  perils  by  sea, 
In  cruel  reproaches  and  pain, 

A  pillar  of  cloud  has  my  Lord  been  to  me, 
To  shelter,  refresh,  and  sustain. 

6  But  God  has  been  with  me  my  soul  to  sus-

And  bring  me  to  glory  and  peace ; 
And  soon  in  his  kingdom  a  crown  I  shall 

gain, 
And  then  shall  my  sorrows  all  cease.

THE   WHITE   PILGRIM. 

I  CAME  to  the  spot  where  the  white  pil- 
grim lay, 
And  pensively  stood  by  his  tomb, 
When  in  a  low  whisper  1  heard  something  say, 
"  How  sweetly  I  sleep  here  alone ! 

2  "  The  lightning  may  flash,  and  the  loud 

thunder  roar, 
And  gathering  storms  may  arise  ; 
Yet  calm  are  my  feelings,  at  rest  is  my  soul, 
The  tears  are  all  wiped  from  my  eyes. 

3  "  The  cause  of  my  Master  compelled  me  from 

home  ; 
I  bade  my  companions  farewell, 
I   left  my  dear  children    who   for    me    do 
mourn, 
Id  the  far  distant  reofions  to  dwell.

my  home, 
No  friends  or  relations  were  nigh, 
I  met  the  contagion  and  sank  in  the  tomb, 
My  spirit  ascended  on  high. 

5  "  Go  tell  my  companion  and  children  most 

dear. 
To  weep  not  for  me  though  I'm  gone ; 
The  same  hand  that  led  me  through  scenes 
dark  and  drear, 
Has  kindly  conducted  me  home."

THE   FIRM   BANK. 

IHAYE  a  never  failing  Bank, 
A  more  than  Golden  Store  ; 
No  earthly  Bank  is  half  so  rich, 
How  can  I  then  be  poor  ? 

2  'Tis  when  my  stock  is  spent  and  gone. 
And  I  without  a  groat, 

I'm  glad  to  hasten  to  my  Bank, 
And  beg  a  little  note. 

3  Sometimes  my  Banker  smiling  says, 
"  Why  don't  you  oft'uer  come  ? 

And  when  you  draw  a  little  note, 
AYhy  not  a  larger  sum  ? 


238  MISCELLANEOUS. 

4  "  Why  live  so  ciggardly  and  poor, 
Your  bank  contains  a  plenty  ? 

Why  come  and  take  a  one  pound  note, 
When  you  might  have  a  twenty  ? 

5  "  Yea,  twenty  thousand  ten  times  told, 
Is  but  a  trifling  sum, 

To  what  your  Father  has  laid  up, 
Secure  in  God  his  Son." 

6  Since  then  my  Banker  is  so  rich, 
I  have  no  cause  to  borrow, 

111  live  upon  my  cash  to-day, 
And  draw  again  to-morrow. 

7  I've  been  a  thousand  times  before, 
And  never  was  rejected  ; 

Sometimes  my  Banker  gives  me  more 
Than  asked  for  or  expected. 

8  I  know  my  Bank  will  never  break — 
No,  it  can  never  fail, 

The  firm — three  persons  in  one  God, 
Jehovah — Lord  of  all. 

9  And  if  you  have  but  one  small  note, 
Fear  not  to  bring  it  in  ; 

Come  boldly  to  the  Bank  of  Grace — 
The  Banker  is  within. 

10  All  forged  notes  will  be  refused, 
Man-merits  are  rejected : 

There's  not  a  single  note  will  pass. 
That  God  has  not  accepted. 


MISCELLANEOUS.  239 

11  Tlio'  thousand  ransomed  souls  may  say, 
They  have  no  notes  at  all — 

Because  they  feel  the  plagues  of  sin, 
So  ruined  by  the  fall — 

12  The  Bank  is  full  of  precious  notes, 
All  sign'd  and  seal'd  and  free, 

Though  many  doubting  souls  may  say, 
There  is  not  one  for  me. 

13  The  leper  had  a  little  note — 

"  Lord,  if  thou  wilt,  thou  can;"  \ 

The  Banker  cash'd  this  little  note, 
And  heal'd  the  sickly  man. 

14  We  read  of  one  young  man,  indeed, 
Whose  riches  did  abound. 

But  in  the  Banker's  book  of  Grace, 
This  man  was  never  found. 

15  But  see  the  wretched,  dying  thief, 
Hang  by  the  Banker's  side, 

He  cried,  "  Bear  Lord,  remember  me," 
And  got  his  cash — and  died.

But  there's  a  Friend  I  dearly  love, 
Who,  for  me,  left  the  courts  above.

Oh,  that's  the  Friend  for  me.

But  there's  a  world  so  pure  and  fair  ;

Oh,  that's  the  love  for  me. 

6  A  city  fair,  for  saints  a  home, 
Where  God  is  coming  down  ; 

His  children  rest,  no  more  to  roam, 
In  the  New  Jerusalem.

Of  immortality  ;

ILOYE  it — I  love  it — and  who  shall  dare 
To  chide  me  for  loving  the  Cross  so  dear  ? 
I  will  cleave  to  it  still,  as  a  holy  prize, 
I'll  bedew  it  with  tears,  and  embalm  it  with 

sighs  ; 
I  will  bind  it  evermore  close  to  my  heart, 
By  ties  so  strong,  that  e'en  death  cannot  part  ; 
Do  you  ask  me  why  ?   My  Saviour  died  there. 
And  a  sacred  thing  is  that  Cross  so  dear.

When  the  joys  of  earth  are  all  fled  away,

The  Cross  shall  my  darkest  hours  beguile  ; 
And  as  years  roll  on  till  my  last  one  is  sped, 
And  I  enter  the  dark  silent  shades  of  the 

dead, — 
While  I  live — when  I  die — to  the  Cross  I'll 

repair. 
For  my  only  hope  is  in  the  Cross  so  dear. 

3  'Tis  mine — 'tis  mine — and  I  cleave  to  it 

now, 
Though  the  shadows  of  death  gather  thick 

on  my  brow  ; 
'Twas  here  Jesus  suffer'd — 'twas  here  that  he 

died, 
And  my  refuge  is  still  in  the  Lamb  crucified. 
You  may  say  it  is  folly — you  may  deem  me 

weak, 
As  the  tears  of  joy  flow  down  my  cheek ; 
But  I  love  it — I  love  it — and  none  shall  tear 
My  trusting  heart  from  the  Cross  so  dear.

Nor  could  the  wealth  of  all  the  globe 

By  purchase  make  it  mine  ;

So  curiously,  that  none 
Can  dress  up  in  this  uniform,

THE    BEAUTIFUL   VALLEY. 

LOW  down  in  this  beautiful  valley, 
Where  love  crowns  the  meek  and  the 
lowly. 
Where  the  loud  storms  of  envy  and  folly 

May  roll  on  their  billows  in  vain. 
The  poor  soul  that  is  uuder  subjection, 
May  here  fiod  unshaken  protection, 
Where  soft  gales  of  cheering  reflection 
The  mind  soothe  from  sorrow  and  pain. 

2  This  low  vale  is  free  from  contention, 
Where  no  soul  can  dream  of  dissension, 
No  dark  wiles  of  evil  invention 

Can  find  out  this  region  of  peace. 
Oh  there,  there  the  Lord  will  deliver, 
And  the  soul  shall  drink  from  that  beautiful 

river, 
Where  peace  flows  forever  and  ever. 

And  love  and  joy  forever  increase. 

3  Ye  lone  sous  of  misfortune,  come  hither, 
Where  joys  bloom  and  never  shall  wither. 
Where  faith  binds  all  christians  together. 

In  love  to  the  sovereign  I  Am  j

There,  there  surrounded  with  glory, 
0  Lord,  we  will  worship  before  Thee,

We  sing  the  praise  of  God  and  the  Lamb.

SOMETHING   NEW. 

SINCE  man  by  sin  has  lost  his  God, 
He  seeks  creation  through  ; 
And  vainly  strives  for  solid  bliss, 
In  trying  something  new. 

2  The  new  possessed,  like  fading  flowers, 
S  oon  loses  its  gay  hue  ; 

The  bubble  now  no  longer  charms, 
The  mind  wants  something  new. 

3  Could  we  but  call  all  Europe  ours, 
California  and  Peru  ; 

The  mind  would  feel  an  aching  void, 
And  still  want  something  new. 

4  But  when  the  Saviour's  love  we  feel, 
All  good  in  him  we  view  ; 

The  mind  forsakes  its  vain  delights, 
In  Christ  finds  something  new. 

5  The  joys  the  dear  Redeemer  gives. 
Will  bear  a  strict  review. 

Nor  need  we  ever  change  again. 
For  Christ  is  always  new.

WHEN   IS   THE    TIME    TO    DIE? 

I  ASKED  the  glad  and  happy  child, 
Whose  hands  were  filled  with  flowers. 
Whose  silvery  laugh  rang  free  and  wild 
Among  the  vine-wreathed  flowers  : 

1  crossed  her  sunny  path,  and  cried, 
"  When  is  the  time  to  die  ?" 

'*  Not  yet !  not  yet !"  the  child  replied, 
And  swiftly  bounded  by. 

2  I  asked  a  maiden  ;  back  she  threw 
The  tresses  of  her  hair  ; 

Griefs   traces  o'er  her  cheeks  I  knew — 
Like  pearls  they  glistened  there ; 

A  flush  passed  o'er  her  lily  brow, 
I  heard  her  spirit  sigh  : 

**  Not  now,"  she  cried,  "  6  no  !  not  now, 
Youth  is  no  time  to  die  !" 

3  I  asked  a  mother,  as  she  pressed 
Her  first-born  in  her  arms, 

As  gently  on  her  tender  breast 
^lie  hushed  her  babe's  alarms  ; 


252  MISCELLANEOUS. 

In  quivering  tones  her  accents  came — 
Her  eyes  were  dim  with  tears ; 

"  My  boy  his  mother's  life  must  claim 
For  many,  many  years." 

4  1  questioned  one  in  manhood's  prirue, 
Of  proud  and  fearless  air  ; 

His  brow  was  furrowed  not  by  time, 

Or  dimmed  by  woe  or  care. 
In  angry  accents  he  replied, 

And  flashed  with  scorn  his  eye — 
*'  Talk  not  to  me  of  death,"  he  cried, 

''  For  only  age  should  die." 

5  I  questioned  age  ;  for  him  the  tomb 
Had  long  been  all  prepared  ; 

But  death,  who  withers  youth  and  bloom, 
This  man  of  years  had  spared. 

Once  more  his  nature's  dying  fire 
Flashed  high,  and  thus  he  cried  : 

"  Life — only  life  is  my  desire  1" 

Then  gasped,  and  groaned,  and  died. 

6  I  asked  a  christian  :  "Answer  thou, 
When  is  the  hour  of  death  ?" 

A'  holy  calm  was  on  his  brow, 
And  peaceful  was  his  breath  ; 

And  sweetly  o'er  his  features  stole 
A  smile,  a  light  divine, 

And  spake  the  language  of  his  soul — 
"  My  Master's  time  is  mine  1"

REJOICING   HYMN. 

("10ME  saints  and  sinners,  hear  me  tell 
J  The  wonders  of  Immanuel, 
Who  saved  me  from  a  burning  hell, 
And  brought  my  soul  with  him  to  dwell, 
And  gave  me  heavenly  union. 

2  When  Jesus  saw  me  from  on  high, 
Beheld  my  soul  in  ruin  lie, 

He  looked  on  me  with  pitying  eye, 
And  said  to  me,  as  he  passed  by, 

^'  With  God  you  have  no  union." 

3  Then  I  began  to  weep  and  cry, 
And  looked  this  way  and  that,  to  fly, 
.1 1  grieved  me  so  that  I  must  die  ; 

I  strove  salvation  for  to  buy  ; 
But  still  I  had  no  union. 

4  But  when  I  hated  all  my  sin, 
My  dear  Redeemer  took  me  in, 

And  with  his  blood  he  washed  me  clean  ; 
And  oh  1  what  seasons  I  have  seen 
Since  first  I  felt  this  union  ! 

5  I  praised  the  Lord  both  night  and  day, 
And  went  from  house  to  house  to  pray, 
And  if  I  met  one  on  the  way, 

1  found  I'd  something  still  to  say 
About  this  heavenly  union.

My  Jesus  hath  done  all  things  well. 

Happy  day !  &c.

PRECIOUS   BLOOD   OF    CHRIST. 

IS  there  a  thing  that  moves  and  breaks 
A  heart  as  hard  as  stone  ? 
Or  warms  a  heart  as  cold  as  ice  ? — 
'Tis  Jesus'  blood  alone.

And  heal  the  wounded  soul ; 

What  multitudes  of  broken  hearts 
The  living  stream  makes  whole ! 

3  The  blood  of  Christ— the  precious  blood, 
For  me,  for  all  atone : 

'Tis  dropping  from  the  rugged  wood. 
It  melts  the  heart  of  stone. 

4  Oh  !  drop  thy  blood  upon  this  soul, 
And  melt  it  into  love  ; 

This  dropping  has  made  thousands  whole.

Shall  shake  the  globe  from  pole  to  pole, 
And  all  the  wheels  of  nature

STRENGTH  IN   TEMPTATION. 

I'M  travelling  through  the  wilderness, 
I'm  oft  assailed  by  sore  temptation ; 
In  the  world  I  find  no  peace, 

But  in  Christ,  sweet  consolation. 
When  first  for  heaven  I  set  out, 

I  thought  the  road  was  fair  and  even  ; 
Sweet  peace  I  had,  and  not  a  doubt, 
But  that  my  sins  were  all  forgiven. 

2  I  did  not  think  that  I  so  soon 
Should  meet  with  trials  so  afflicting, 

That  I  should  be  so  soon  cast  down, 
By  flesh  and  spirit  so  conflicting  ; 

I  soon  found  out  if  I  would  gain 
Eternal  life  and  joy  forever  ! 

If  I  would  with  my  Saviour  reign, 
I  must  lay  down  my  armor  never. 

3  I  asked  old  soldiers  in  the  way, 

If  they  had  been  so  troubled  ever  I 
Oh  yes,  we  often  have,  said  they. 

But  Christ  as  often  did  deliver ; 
^0  put  you  the  whole  armor  on, 

And  fight  against  the  sore  temptation, 
And  watch,  and  pray,  and  follow  Christ, 

The  corner-stone  of  your  foundation.

But  trust  in  Jesus  to  deliver. 
I'm  sometimes  in  the  valley  low, 

I'm  sometimes  high  upon  the  mountain ; 
I  often  travel  very  slow, 

Until  I  reach  some  cooling  fountain. 

5  When  I'm  discouraged,  weak,  and  faint, 
I  drink  the  cup  of  his  salvation  ; 

And  thus  my  soul  renews  her  strength, 
And  trusts  in  Christ  my  sure  foundation. 

'"Tis  true  'twas  late  ere  I  began 

To  seek  with  Christ  to  live  forever  ; 

But  now  I  run  fast  as  I  can, 

I'm  sure  'tis  better  late  than  never. 

6  The  journey  quickly  will  be  o'er, 
The  conflict  be  for  ever  ended. 

And  I  shall  land  on  Canaan's  shore, 
For  that  is  just  what  God  intended. 

I  then  shall  scale  the  mountain  top. 
And  cross  old  Jordan's  darksome  river ; 

I'll  gain  the  object  of  my  hope. 

And  live  and  reign  with  Christ  forever.

Do  they  tell  me  I'll  prove  false,  loving  Jesus, 

Or  my  love  to  thee  shall  e'er  grow  cold  ?

Now  enthroned,  though  once  hanging  on  a

For  there,  Lord,  thou'rt  waiting  for  me.

JESUS   HAIL. 

Tune. — Lilly  Bale, 

BY  REV.  L.  C.  LOCKWOOD. 

THIS  a  calm,  still  night, 
X     And  the  moon's  pale  light 
Shines  soft  o'er  hill  and  vale  ; 

But  the  heart,  mute  with  grief. 

Looks  up  for  relief, 
And  a  Friend  I  in  Jesus  hail. 

Chorus. 
0  Jesus !  dear  Jesus !  dear  Jesus,  hail ! 
Now  the  aching  bosom 


286  MISCELLANEOUS. 

Hath  for  each  wo  a  balm, 

As  I'm  passing  through  life's  lowly  vale. 

2  The  cheek  that  hath  glowed, 
As  the  rose  tint  bio  wed, 

The  hand  of  disease  may  turn  pale ; 

And  the  death  damp  fall  now, 

Upon  the  white  brow. 
Yet  a  Friend  I  in  Jesus  hail. 

3  I  with  him  shall  be  blest, 
In  the  land  of  rest, 

When  heart  and  flesh  shall  fail ; 

When  this  dust'lieth  low, 

I  to  heaven  shall  go, 
And  a  Friend  in  my  Jesus  hail. 

4  When  o'er  my  green  grave, 
The  wild  flowers  wave, 

And  the  stream  ripples  by  through  the  vale. 
Then  with  angels  I'll  sing, 
And  make  heaven's  arches  ring. 

As  a  Friend  I  in  Jesus  hail.

LONGING   FOR  JESUS. 

I  LONG  to  see  the  season  come, 
When  Jesus  wiU  be  mine  ; 
Oh  !  may  we  feel  that  we  are  one, 
And  know  that  we  are  thine.

2  Sinners,  to  Jesus  now  draw  nigh, 
And  cast  your  cares  on  him  ; 

And  then  to  Jesus  you  will  fly, 
And  see  your  glorious  King. 

3  Jesus,  we  come  before  thee  now, 
And  in  thy  presence  dwell ; 

Would  thou,  0  Lord  !  from  heaven  smile, 
For  fear  we  sink  to  hell. 

4  Death  we  know  is  at  the  door. 
And  we  must  shortly  go 

To  mingle  with  the  spirits  there. 
Or  sink  to  endless  woe. 

5  Would  thou,  dear  Lord,  in  that  dread  hour. 
Send  some  physician  nigh  ; 

Send  angels  to  convey  me  home 
To  him  that  bled  and  died. 

6  Jesus  the  powers  of  hell  subdues. 
Let  captives  come  to  thee  ; 

Into  thy  arms  for  mercy  fall, 
And  dwell  eternally. 

7  We  are  but  pilgrims  in  this  land, 
We  seek  a  better  shore  ; 

We  seek  a  place  at  God's  right  hand, 
Where  parting  is  no  more. 

8  There  I  shall  reign,  and  shout,  and  sing 
To  him  that  died  for  me, 

And  make  the  heavenly  arches  ring 
Through  all  eternity.

lNCE  upon  the  stormy  ocean

Rode  a  bark  at  evening  tide, 
While  the  waves  in  wild  commotion 
Dashed  against  the  vessel's  side  ; 
Jesus,  sleeping  on  a  pillow, 
Heeded  not  the  raging  billow  ; 
While  waging  winds  were  all  abroad, 
Calmly  slept  the  son  of  God. 

2  In  that  dark  and  stormy  hour, 
Fearful  ones  awaked  their  Lord  ; 

Jesus,  by  his  sovereign  power, 

Calmed  the  tempest  with  a  word. 
On  life's  dark  and  stormy  ocean, 
'Mid  the  billows'  wild  commotion. 
Trembling  souls,  your  Lord  is  there, 
He  will  make  you  still  his  care. 

3  Jesus  knows  your  silent  weeping, 
When  before  his  cross  you  bow  ; 

Never,  never  is  he  sleeping. 

Where  he  reigns  in  glory  now. 
If  the  world  be  dark  before  thee, 
When  the  billows,  rolling  o'er  thee. 
Shall  thy  soul  with  terror  fill, 
Hear  him  saying,  Peace  !  be  still.

HAPPY   IN    GOD. 

HAPPY  is  the  man  who  has  chosen  Wis-

That  measures  out  his  span  to  his  God  in 

prayer  and  praise ; 
His  God  and  his  Bible  is  all  that  he  desires, 
For  holiness  of  heart  he  continually  aspires  ; 
In  poverty  he's  happy,  for  he  knows  he  has 

a  Friend 
That  never  will  forsake  him  though  the  world 

should  have  an  end. 

2  He  rises  in  the  morning,  with  the  lark  he 

tunes  his  lays, 
Then  he  offers  up  a  tribute  to  his  God  in 

prayer  and  praise ; 


MISCELLANEOUS.  2^^ 

Then  tohis  daily  labourshe  will  cheerfully  repair 
With  confidence  believing  that  his  God  will 

answer  prayer. 
Whatever  he  engages  in,  at  home  or  abroad, 
His  object  is  to  honor  and  to  glorify  his  God. 

3  In  sickness,  pain,  and  sorrow,  he  never  will 

repine, 
While  he  is  drawing  nourishment  from  Christ 

the  living  Yine  ; 
In  deep  tribulation  he  leans  on  Jesus'  breast, 
And  in  his  precious  promises  he  finds  a  quiet 

rest ; 
For  the  yoke  of  God  is  easy  and  his  burden 

always  light, 
And  they'll   never  make  him  weary  while 

Canaan  is  in  sight. 

4  The  jewels  of  the  earth  cannot  his  affec- 

tions win, 

For  he  knows  they  have  a  tendency  to  lead 
him  into  sin ; 

He  looks  beyond  old  Jordan,  he  hears  the 
billows  roar. 

But  he  knows  he  has  a  mansion  on  Canaan's 
happy  shore. 

Where  the  presence  of  the  Lord  is  the  sun- 
light of  the  day, 

And  the  walls  are  decked  with  jewels  that 
never  fade  away. 

5  He  hails  with  joy  the  morning  that  rules 

the  Sabbath  round, 
And  in  the  courts  of  Zion  he  is  ever  to  be  found, 


300  MISCELLANEOUS. 

His  place  among  his  brethren  he  is  ever  sure 
to  fill, 

And  always  ready  with  them  to  do  his  Mas-

He  trusts  in  the  Lord,  by  his  mercy  and  his 
love. 

He'll  be  guided  through  life's  pilgi'image  tri- 
umphantly above. 

6  Then,  christians,  be  determined  and  let  us 

travel  on. 
Where  storms  of  persecution  and  affliction 

never  come  ; 
And  when  these  feeble  bodies  lie  mouldering 

in  the  clay. 
We'll  wear  a  crown  of  glory  that  shall  never 

fade  away. 
There  we'll  shout  and  sing,  Hosannah !  around

Who  purchased  our  pardon   with  his  most 

precious  blood !

Keep  them  with  care,  they  cost  you  much, 
They  cost  your  daughter  more  : 

Look  at  them  every  rolling  year, 
Upon  my  dying  day. 

And  drop  for  me  the  burning  tear" — 
She  said,  and  sank  away.

PARTING  HYMN. 
BY  THE  REV.  DR.  A.  MEANS. 

HOW  swiftly  the  years  of  our  pilgrimage 
fly' 

As  days,  months,  and  years,  roll  silently  by  I 


MISCELLANEOUS.  305 

Our  days   are  soon   numbered,  and   Death 

sounds  our  knell  ; 
We  scarce  know  our  friends,  till  we  bid  tbeiu 

farewell — 

Till  we  bid  them  farewell. 

2  The  righteous  and  unrighteous  all  move 

along, 
In  crowds  towards  the  grave,  both  the  old 

and  the  young  : 
The  good  rise  to  heaven — the  bad  sink  to  hell  ; 
They  take  on  its  verge  an  eternal  farewell ! 
An  eternal  farewell ! 

3  0  God  !  are  mankind  hastening  on  to  the 

tomb? 

Must  hard-hearted  sinners  soon  meet  their 
sad  doom? 

Save,  save,  great  Kedeemer !  0  break  the  sad 
•  spell — 

Forgive,  and  prepare  them  to  bid  earth  fare- 
well! 

,  To  bid  earth  farewell ! 

4  To  you,  fellow  christian,  I  turn  with  de- 

light ; 
The  grave  cannot  harm  you — your  prospects 

are  bright : 
Be  faithful  and  humble,  temptations  repel. 
You'll  soon  leave  the  world  with  a  cheerful 

farewell — • 
With  a  cheerful  farewell.

306  MISCELLANEOUS. 

5  We've  met  here  with  joy,  but,  alas !  cannot 

stay — 

Stern  Time  bids  us  part,  and  T?e  all  must 
away 

To  life's  busy  duties— to  buy  and  to  sell ; 

But,  oh,  in  yon  heaven  there's  no  parting  fare- 
well! 
I'here's  no  parting  farewell ! 

6  Farewell,  then,  my  brother !  in  body  we 

part, 

But  one  common  Saviour  unites  us  in  heart ; 

Through  his  grace  we'll  conquer  the  world, 
flesh,  and  hell. 

And  then  bid  this  earth  a  triumphant  fare- 
well! 

A  triumphant  farewell ! 

7  Farewell  to  its  pains !  Farewell  to  its  cares, 
Its  thousand  misfortunes,  temptations,  and 

snares ! 
We'll  mount  on  faith's  pinions  with  angels  to 

dwell, 
Where  saints  never  hear  the  sad  parting 

farewell ! 
The  sad  parting  farewell ! 

8  Farewell,  trembling  sinner,  I'm  free  from 

your  blood  ; 
My  message  deliver'd,  I  leave  you  with  God. 


MISCELLANEOUS.  307 

I've  begg'd  and  entreated,  but  dare  not  com- 
pel, 

Till  the  great  judgment  day  I  now  bid  you 
farewell ! 
I  now  bid  you  farewell  I

THE   CHRISTIAN  FAREWELL. 

rAREWELL,  my  brethren,  all  farewell  1 
I  leave  you  with  the  Lord  ; 
Oh.  may  you  shun  the  paths  of  hell 
By  cleaving  to  his  word  1 

2  You  are  most  near  and  dear  to  me, 
I  have  you  in  my  heart ; 

Yet  the  best  friends  must  sever'd  be, 
So  you  and  I  must  part. 

3  Although  I  leave  you  for  awhile, 
I'll  meet  you  once  again  ; 

And  if  it  be  not  in  this  world, 
'Twill  be  on  Canaan's  plain. 

4  There  we  shall  meet  and  never  part, 

And  see  our  glorious  King, 
With  harp  in  hand  we  all  shall  stand, 
And  Hallelujahs  sing. 

5  My  counsel  untO{;you  I  give, 

That  you  do  ail  stand  fast 
In  the  sweet  doctrine  you've  received, 
Of  being  saved  by  grace. 


308  MISCELLANEOUS. 

6  In  holiness  of  life  and  word, 
And  evidence  of  this, 

Walk  in  the  road  the  Lord  hath  said, 
And  you  shall  never  miss. 

7  For  morning  clothes  put  ye  on  these 
Faith,  hope,  and  charity  ; 

Next  unto  this  the  garment  is 
The  blest  humility ; 

8  The  helmet  of  salvation  next, 

The  sword,  the  word  of  God  ; 
Ton  need  not  fear,  but  persevere 
To  heaven  your  blest  abode.

And  must  I  bear  the  cross  alone? 239 

A  pilgrim  in  this  desert  world,  210 

Attend,  young  friends,  whilst  I  relate, 192 

Away  with  all  of  creature  charms, 207

Afflicted  saint !  to  Christ  draw  near, 274 

All  went  up  to  Calvary,.. 288 

Burst,  ye  emerald  gates,  and  bring, 229 

By  faith  I  view  my  Saviour  dying, 258 

Can  you  slight  your  great  Creator  ? 197 

Come,  brothers,  who  do  love  the  Lord, 264 

Come,  children,  let  us  sing, 280 

Come,  classmates,  don't  grow  weary, 224 

Come,  little  children,  now  we  may  partake  a 

little  moi'Sel, 227 

Come,  mourning  sinner,  and   dry  up  your 

tears, 196 

Come,  poor,  guilty,  anxious  mourner, 193 

Come,  poor  sinner,  come  to  Jesus, 291 

Come,  saints  and  sinners,  hear  me  tell, 253 

Dressed  uniform  Christ's  soldiers  are, 242 

Farewell,  my  brethren,  all  farewell, 307 

For  me  to  live  is  Christ, 281 

**  Go  bring  me,"  said  the  dying  fair 303 

Happy  is  the  man  who  has  chosen  Wisdom's 

ways, 298 

Happy  the  spirit  released  from  its  clay, 302 

How  swiftly  the  years  of  pilgrimage  fly! 304 

I  asked  the  glad  and  happy  child, 251 

I  came  to  the  spot  where  the  white  pilgrim 

lay, 236 

I  have  a  never  failing  Bank, 237 

I  long  to  see  the  season  come, 286 

I  love  it — I  love  it — and  who  shall  dare, 241 

I'm  but  a   stranger  here.      Heaven  is  my 

home, 278 

I'm  travelling  through  the  wilderness, 273 

In  de  dark  woods,  no  Indian  nigh, 247 

Is  there  a  thing  that  moves  and  breaks, 269 

Ijet  others  delight  in  the  gambols  of  mirth,  226 
Low  down  in  this  beautiful  valley, 249

My  brethren,  I  have  found, 209 

My  days  are  gliding  swiftly  by, 257 

My  soul's  full  of  glory, 214 

My  soul  is  now  united, 204 

Now  in  a  song  of  grateful  praise, 266 

Now  the  christian  pilgrim  sings, 212 

O'er  on  the  banks  of  life's  pure  river, 282 

O'er  the  distant  mountains,  'neath  the  east- 
ern skies, 275 

Oh,  they  tell  me  thou  art  gone,  loving  Jesus,  284 

Once  upon  the  stormy  ocean, 296 

0  sinners,  sinners,  don't  you  see, 255 

Our  bondage  it  will  end, 248 

Our  kindred  dear  to  heaven  have  gone, 300 

Out  on  an  ocean  all  boundless  we  ride, 246 

0  Zion,  when  I  think  of  thee, 218 

Pilgrim  and  stranger,  sadly  I  roam, 244 

River  of  death,  thy  stream  I  see,  232 

Since  man  by  sin  has  lost  his  God, 250 

Since  meridian  light  commenced, 230 

Sinner,  go,  will  you  go, 254 

Sinner,  spare  that  name, 195 

Skeptic!  spare  that  book, 263 

Softly  the  penitent,. ........  199 

Soldiers  of  the  cross,  arise, 294 

Star  of  peace,  to  wanderers  given, 235 

The  angels  that  watched  'round  the  tomb....  233 

The  specious  world  promiscuous  flows, 271 

There  is  a  blessed  volume,  whose  page  is 

fair  and  bright, 277 

There  is  a  land  of  pleasure, 270 

There  is  an  hour  of  peaceful  rest, 223 

There  we  shall  reign  with  Jesus, 261 

There's  a  friend  above  all  others, 260 

Time  speeds  away,  away,  away  ! 207 

'Tis  a  calm,  still  night, 285
